THE BEGGER BOY IS RICH HEIR CHAPTER 194
Working with Victoria felt like striking a deal with the devil.Every instinct screamed at me not to trust her, but if she really knew who was pulling The Black Hawk’s strings, then I couldn’t afford to walk away.Not yet.I made one thing clear—she wasn’t running the show.“You’ll get what you asked for,” I told her, standing in the dimly lit safehouse we’d set up for our first move.“But if you step out of line, I won’t hesitate to put you down.”Victoria’s lips curled into that infuriating smirk of hers.“Relax, dear brother. I wouldn’t dream of betraying you. Not yet, anyway.”Lisa exhaled loudly from the corner.“This is a mistake.”Harris, who had been watching quietly, finally spoke.“She’s useful for now, but I don’t trust her any more than I trust a loaded gun pointed at my head.”Victoria chuckled. “Oh, Harris. I missed you too.”I ignored the bickering and turned my focus to the table in front of us, where maps, documents, and surveillance photos of The Black Hawk’s remaini

The next step was taking out one of The Black Hawk’s major communication hubs—a heavily guarded warehouse that served as an intelligence center.This time, the approach wasn’t so smooth.Harris and I led the assault again, but something felt off. The guards were waiting for us, more prepared than usual.“Victoria, you sure we weren’t tipped off?” I asked, ducking behind cover as bullets flew overhead.Her voice came through steady.“I wouldn’t waste my time setting you up, Ethan. If I wanted you dead, I’d have done it myself.”That was… oddly reassuring.After an intense firefight, we secured the building and began combing through the intel stored inside.That’s when I found it.A locked safe, hidden behind a false wall in the back office.“Lisa, get over here,” I called, my pulse quickening.She worked her magic, cracking the safe in under a minute.Inside was a hard drive labeled with a single word: “Providence.”I plugged it into a nearby terminal and clicked on the first file.A g

My blood boiled.“You ordered the hit on our father. And you have the audacity to act like this is nothing?”Victoria tilted her head slightly.“Think, Ethan. Do you really believe I’d be that careless? That I’d leave behind evidence of something so incriminating?”Lisa narrowed her eyes.“So, what? You’re saying this is fake?”Victoria exhaled, tapping a manicured finger against the table.“No, I’m saying it was staged. A necessary move to gain The Black Hawk’s trust. Do you have any idea what it took to infiltrate them? To get them to believe I was truly on their side?”I didn’t answer.My gut told me not to believe her, but there was logic in what she was saying.Victoria leaned forward, her voice smooth, calculated.“If I hadn’t played my role perfectly, The Black Hawk would have seen through me in seconds. That recording? It was never meant to reach you. It was meant to solidify my position within their ranks. And it worked.”Harris let out a sharp breath.“That’s convenient.”Vi

The war wasn’t over.For a moment, I let myself believe we had the upper hand. That Victoria’s intel, our attacks on their financial networks, and the chaos we had stirred had left The Black Hawk on the defensive.I was wrong.They were still strong. Still organized. And they wanted to remind me exactly what kind of enemy I was dealing with.They didn’t come for me first.They went after the people I cared about.It started with a call.I was in the safehouse with Lisa and Harris when my phone buzzed. Mike’s name flashed on the screen.I answered. "Mike, what’s up?"All I heard was heavy breathing, followed by a painful groan.My body went rigid. "Mike?"A weak chuckle came through. "Man… they got me pretty good."I was already moving. "Where are you?""Warehouse district… near the docks," he muttered. "Didn’t see them coming."Lisa was already on her feet, grabbing the keys. Harris was right behind her."Hold on," I told Mike, my mind racing. "We’re coming."But in the back of my min

The Black Hawk thought they could take from me and get away with it.They were wrong.Daniel Cross was still alive. That much, I knew. But I wasn’t going to sit around waiting for them to send me another video with a body instead of a hostage.I was getting him back.And unfortunately, I needed Victoria’s help to do it.Victoria sat across from me, sipping her espresso like we weren’t about to storm a Black Hawk stronghold. "They’re keeping him in a warehouse outside the city. Tight security, multiple guards, but nothing we can’t handle."I studied her. "And you know this how?"She smirked. "Because I still have sources you don’t."Lisa, standing beside me, scoffed. "And we’re just supposed to trust that you’re not leading us into a trap?"Victoria sighed. "If I wanted Ethan dead, I wouldn’t go through all this trouble. I’d just poison his coffee and watch him choke."I leaned forward, locking eyes with her. "Try it, and you’ll be the one choking."She grinned. "I do love our sibling

The rules had changed.For too long, I’d been playing defense, reacting to The Black Hawk’s moves instead of making my own. That ended today. If they wanted a war, I’d give them one.And I wasn’t holding back.We hit them where it hurt.One by one, their safehouses burned. Their informants disappeared. Their supply chains crumbled.Harris and I took out an arms deal in progress, blowing up half their stock before they even knew we were there.Lisa intercepted financial transactions, freezing assets, and cutting off their funding.Victoria… well, she was always one step ahead, knowing where to strike before we even made a plan.It was almost unsettling. Almost.Back at the safehouse, Lisa slammed a tablet onto the table. "We’ve taken out five of their major hubs in three days. They’re scrambling."Harris whistled. "Never thought I’d see the day The Black Hawk looked desperate."Victoria leaned against the wall, completely unfazed. "They’ll retaliate. They always do."Lisa shot her a gl

Victoria’s words hung in the air like a loaded gun.She was playing a bigger game.A game I hadn’t even realized I was part of until now.Lisa, standing beside me, looked as furious as I felt.Harris remained silent, watching like he was waiting for a match to hit gasoline.I folded my arms, keeping my voice steady. “Tell me you’re joking.”Victoria smirked.“Do I look like I’m joking?”Lisa’s fists clenched.“You’re telling us that your grand plan is to take over The Black Hawk? Are you insane?”Victoria let out a soft, almost pitying laugh.“Lisa, I was born into a world of power struggles. You can either fight them head-on and lose, or you can take control from within.”I felt a slow burn of rage in my chest. “You actually believe you can control them? The same people who have spent years trying to destroy us?”Victoria’s eyes glimmered with something sharp. “Yes.”Lisa exhaled, shaking her head.“Unbelievable.”I took a step closer.“You’re playing a dangerous game, Victoria.”Sh

CHAPTER 277
Ethan stood on the edge of a glass-and-steel monolith, looking down at the city that had both made him and tried to break him.Dubai stretched out in all directions—a kingdom of glass towers, neon reflections, and wealth built on power and silence.Once, he had owned this world.Once, he had believed he could shape it.But now, as he stood above it all, the question that had haunted him since the beginning refused to be ignored.Did I win? Or did I just survive?He exhaled, the wind pulling at his coat, sending strands of his hair whipping against his forehead.The streets below were alive—cars honking, people moving, deals being made in hushed conversations, just another night in the empire of the rich.None of them knew what had happened.None of them knew how close this city had come to burning with The Dominion.They only knew the headlines:“Ethan Elliot Destroys Global Crime Syndicate.”“The Fall of The Dominion—A Power Shift in the Underworld.”“The Most Dangerous Man in the Wo
CHAPTER 276
Ethan stood at the edge of the smoldering ruin, his body aching, his mind drowning in the weight of what had been done.Dubai’s skyline had changed overnight—one less tower standing.One less monster breathing.He should have felt something.Relief. Satisfaction. A sense of victory.But there was nothing.Only smoke, ash, and silence.The Dominion was gone.Their networks dismantled, their leaders dead, scattered, or in hiding.The underworld had changed in a single night, shifting like tectonic plates beneath his feet.And the world had noticed.The media had already begun spinning their stories.“Elliot Enterprises CEO Linked to Mysterious Power Shift.”“The Fall of The Dominion—A New Global Order?”“Ethan Elliot: The Man Who Killed the Shadows.”Some feared him.Some worshipped him.Some wanted him dead.None of it mattered.Because Ethan was done.Lisa was gone.Malik was gone.His empire was still standing, but it wasn’t his anymore.He had spent years clawing his way to the top,
CHAPTER 275
3:00… 2:59… 2:58…The countdown blazed across the massive penthouse screen.Ethan’s fingers tightened around Emery’s collar."Where is it?" His voice was a low growl, lethal.Emery coughed, blood staining his teeth. "Wouldn’t you like to know?"2:30… 2:29…Ethan yanked him forward, shaking him violently. "Tell me where the bomb is, or I swear I will—""Kill me?" Emery smirked, weak but smug. "That’s what I want, Ethan."Ethan’s breath came sharp. Every fiber of his body screamed to end him.But the clock was running out.Lisa’s voice echoed in his head."Don’t become them…"2:00… 1:59…Ethan dropped Emery.He turned on his heel, ignoring the bastard’s laughter as he scanned the penthouse for any sign of the bomb.Then—he saw it.A black case embedded inside the structural framework of the tower, wires running across the walls like a web of death.The fail-safe was wired into the building itself.Emery had planned this well.There was no stopping the countdown.1:30… 1:29…He had to ge
CHAPTER 274
Ethan moved first.No hesitation. No mercy.His fist slammed into Emery’s face, sending him crashing into a marble pillar.The impact cracked the surface, shards of stone crumbling to the floor.But Emery didn’t collapse.He grinned through the blood."That’s it, Ethan," he rasped, wiping his split lip. "No more business deals. No more negotiations. Just war."Ethan didn’t answer.Words were pointless now.Lisa was gone.The Dominion had burned his empire.Now, he would burn them.Emery launched himself forward, faster than Ethan expected.A knife flashed in his hand.Ethan twisted—**barely dodging—**but the blade still grazed his ribs.Pain flared, hot and sharp, but he didn’t slow.Instead, he caught Emery’s wrist and twisted.CRACK.The knife clattered to the floor.Emery hissed, his arm hanging limp, dislocated.But he still laughed."Come on," he taunted. "You’re holding back."Ethan’s rage snapped.He drove his knee into Emery’s gut, knocking the air from his lungs.As Emery dou
CHAPTER 273
The Burj Dominion towered over Dubai, a fortress of wealth, power, and secrecy. A structure built on the backs of the world’s most corrupt elites, designed to withstand anything.Anything but him.Ethan was coming.Inside the penthouse, Emery Calloway stood before the massive floor-to-ceiling windows, the city sprawling beneath him in a tapestry of golden lights. He swirled the whiskey in his glass, watching the skyline with an air of amusement.Behind him, a war was brewing.Guards flooded the lower floors, rifles loaded, body armor strapped on, comms crackling with rapid orders. The entire tower was on lockdown.But Emery wasn’t afraid.He had been waiting for this."Sir, we should evacuate," one of his lieutenants suggested, nervous.Emery smirked, tilting his glass to his lips. "No."The man hesitated. "With all due respect, sir, Elliot is—""Exactly where I want him." Emery placed the glass down with a deliberate clink. "Let him in."The lieutenant paled. "Sir?"Emery turned, his
CHAPTER 272
Ethan didn’t remember getting into the car.Didn’t remember the high-speed chase through the city, weaving through traffic, running red lights, ignoring the screaming sirens behind him.All he saw was her face on that screen.Lisa.Still alive.Barely breathing, but still there.And if he was even a second too late?He wouldn’t let himself think about it.Mike’s voice crackled over the comm. “Ethan, you need to slow down. We don’t know what we’re walking into.”Ethan’s grip tightened on the wheel. “I don’t care.”Because this wasn’t about strategy anymore.This was personal.The warehouse loomed ahead, an abandoned Dominion facility on the city outskirts.Ethan didn’t wait. Didn’t plan.He crashed the car straight through the front gate, metal screeching as he tore past the defenses.Gunfire erupted. Bullets slammed into the car, glass shattering.Ethan was already out, already moving.His gun spat fire as he carved a path through The Dominion soldiers.Each shot was precise. Lethal.
CHAPTER 271
Ethan had sensed the setup the moment the lights cut out.Too quiet. Too clean.Then—the explosion.The front door blasted inward, a shockwave ripping through the safe house. Glass shattered, furniture splintered, smoke curled through the air like a phantom’s breath.Ethan was already moving before the dust settled.They were here.The Dominion’s kill squad—The Reapers.Silent. Precise. Deadly.Dark figures poured in through the smoke, rifles raised, laser sights flickering like red stars in the haze.Ethan ducked, rolled, and fired.A single headshot took out the first.A knife to the throat silenced the second.Malik was beside him, a shadow of destruction. A brutal strike to the gut, a bullet between the ribs—two Reapers fell instantly.But they kept coming.Ethan’s mind worked ten steps ahead.They didn’t just want him dead.They wanted him contained.Cut off. Cornered. Executed.Too bad.They had underestimated the wrong man.Ethan moved like a ghost through the gunfire, slipping
CHAPTER 270
The world had changed.Aldrich Vaughn was dead. Executed in his own home. His dirty secrets broadcasted to the world, his name dragged through the mud.It wasn’t a quiet, clean hit. Ethan had made sure of that.Now?Everyone was watching.For the first time, The Dominion was exposed.They weren’t untouchable anymore.And that terrified them.Inside an underground Dominion control center, Emery Calloway stood motionless.Multiple screens flickered, each one showing the same headline."Former U.S. Senator Aldrich Vaughn found executed—Massive corruption scandal unraveling.""Who is behind the murder of one of America’s most powerful political figures?""The world’s elite in chaos—How deep does this conspiracy go?"Emery’s fingers tightened into a fist.Vaughn was supposed to be protected. Untouchable. A symbol of The Dominion’s absolute power.Yet Ethan had wiped him from existence in a single night.“We underestimated him.”The voice came from one of his lieutenants, a man in a pristin
CHAPTER 269
Ethan sat in the dimly lit warehouse, his fingers tapping rhythmically against the cold steel of his gun. The room smelled of dust and rusted metal, but the air was thick with something else—vengeance.Tonight, the war truly began.Across the room, Malik slid a tablet across the table. “He’s at his estate. Surrounded by security. Cameras, guards, high-tech defenses. A fortress.”Ethan barely glanced at the screen. “It won’t be enough.”Mike leaned forward. “You sure about this? If we start picking them off, The Dominion will come at us harder than ever.”Ethan’s gaze was sharp, unwavering. “Good. Let them.”Aldrich Vaughn was a snake in a suit—a corrupt politician who had sold out his own people for power.More importantly?He was one of the architects of Lisa’s abduction.And tonight? He would pay.Ethan’s plan wasn’t just about killing him.That would be too easy.No, Ethan would destroy his empire first. Strip him of his power, his money, his influence.Then, and only then, would h
